FL-B101D40PS DS (FL10)
The FL-B101D40PS is an intelligent bargraph meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
Software Version is Displayed on Power-up When power is applied, all segments of the bargraph and digital display light up for 3 seconds. The version number of the installed software is then displayed for 2 seconds, after which, the operational display indicates the input signal.
15 Second Program Timeout Except for ZERO and SPAN settings in the Two Point Digital Calibration Mode and the Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration Mode (cLo and chi), the meter has a 15 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds in any of the other programming sequences, the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the button in the preceding step will not be saved.

The FL-B10140PSF meter may be rescaled without applying an external signal by changing the Offset and Scale factor.
Offset is the reading that the meter will display for a zero input. The Offset may be set to any value from -1999 to +9999. The default value of the Offset is 000
Scale factor is the gain of the meter. The displayed reading is directly proportional to the Scale factor. The default value of the scale factor is 2000, but it may be set to any value between -1999 and +9999.
For an input of 2V a calibrated meter will read 2000 with the default Scale factor of 2000, 3000 with a Scale factor of 3000 and 500 with a Scale factor of 500
If a linear scale is represented by mx + b, then the Scale Factor corresponds to the slope m and the Offset corresponds to the intercept b
The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between 1 V DC to + 2 V DC. Outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange.
Note: Most input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meters digital Scale Factor is set to
2000 and Offset set to 0000 then, any pre-calibrated signal conditioner with an output that does not exceed 1 V to + 2 V, will read correctly in the meter without any further calibration.

The bargraph can be set to display full scale (0-101 bars) any portion of the
digital reading from a minimum of 100 counts to a maximum of 12,000
Example of Setting the Digital Span of the Bargraph Display to be Different than the Digital Display Range
counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for those appli-
cations where the normal operating input signal range is less than the
desired full scale display range of the digital display.
For Example:
If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -1999 to
9999 (0-12,000 counts), but the normal operating range of the
input signal is between 4000 & 6000. The bargraph high parame-
ter [bhi] can be set to 6000 and the bargraph low parameter [bLo]
can be set to 4000.
This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal
from -1999 to 9999 (0-12,000 counts), the bargraph display only
begins to function at a reading of 4000, and reaches full scale indi-
cation at a reading of 6000. Although the digital display will con-
tinue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bargraph
display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings above
6000.

[oFF].
Note: Any two digital span points from 1999 to 9999 can be selected. The digital values for [Anhi] analog high and [AnLo] analog low can be reversed to provide a 20 to 4mA output. The digital span selected can be as small as two counts, when using the analog output to function as a Control or Alarm Driver. Small digital spans will cause the high resolution 16 bit D to A to increment digitally in stair case steps.
See Two Point Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration at the top of the next page.
Bargraph Center Point Display Mode Selection
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with a Unipolar Input
If the meter's full scale range is set to 5000 counts, the midpoint would be
2500 counts. If a signal of 2500 counts is applied only one segment at the
2500 count mark will light up. If a signal of 4000 counts is applied the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 4000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 1000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 1000 count mark will light up.
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with Bipolar Signal Inputs
The meter may also be calibrated to display symmetrical bipolar signals such as 1 V or 10 V. When the center point display mode is selected, it will then function as a center zero meter. When positive signals are applied, the bar will go up from the center point, and when negative signals are applied, the bar will go down from the center point.

If a mono-color red or green display is installed then the Setpoint Relay Programming Mode is now complete and the meter returns to the operational display.
If a tricolor bargraph display is installed then the Bargraph Color Programming Mode will be entered and display toggles between [CoL] and the previous setting. Color selection menu will be displayed.
To comply with the latest safety requirements, the tri-color bargraph is designed like a traffic light, to display either red, orange or green, but only one color at a time. When the bar reaches a selected color change point, the entire bar will change to the color designated for that zone. This eliminates any ambiguity as to the signal status, especially just after transitioning to a new zone.
First (Step Q) is to select the color to be displayed, when the bar is below*, whichever set point is set to the lowest position.
Second (Steps R, S, T, and U) is to select the color to be displayed when the bar is above each specific set point, regardless of the order or position to which the set points are set.
However, if two or more setpoints with differently specified colors are positioned at the same set point value, the color specified for the set point with the highest identifying number will be displayed. When set points are set to the same value, the SP4 color overrides the SP3 color, the SP3 color overrides the SP2 color, and the SP2 color overrides the SP1 color.

Many additional input modules are available and others are constantly being developed. Check with your local distributor or www.texmate.com for updated information.
Pre-calibrated I-Series input modules, that have span or zero potentiometers, can be interchanged between any I-Series compatible meter, without recalibration, because all of the analog scaling and reference circuitry is self-contained within the module. Where appropriate, all the standard ranges shown are designed to be header selectable by the user, and Texmate's unique SPAN ADJUST Header facilitates scaling to almost any required engineering unit. See Input Module Component Glossary and Calibration on pages 16-17.
Unless otherwise specified Texmate will ship all modules pre-calibrated with factory preselected ranges and/or scalings as shown in BOLD type. Other pre-calibrated standard ranges or custom ranges may be ordered. Factory installed custom scaling and other custom options are also available (see Ordering Information, Special Options on last page).

On most modules Pin 1 is the Signal High input and Pin 3 is the Signal Low input. Typically Pin 2 is used for Excitation Voltage output.
Range values are marked on the PCB.Typically two to four positions are provided, which are selected with either a single or multiple jumper clip. When provided, a custom range position is only functional when the option has been factory installed.
If provided, the 15 turn SPAN pot is always on the right side (as viewed from the rear of the meter).
Typical adjustment is 20% of the input signal range.
This unique five-position header expands the adjustment range of the SPAN pot into five equal 20% steps, across 100% of the input Signal Span.
Any input Signal Span can then be precisely scaled down to provide any required Digital Display span from 1999 counts to 001 (one count).
On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
If provided, the ZERO pot is always to the left of the SPAN pot (as viewed from the rear of the meter). Typically it enables the input signal to be offset 5% of full scale (-100 to +100 counts).
When provided, this three position header increases the ZERO pots capability to offset the input signal, to 25% of the digital display span. For example a Negative offset enables a 1 to 5V input to display 0 to full scale. The user can select negative offset, positive offset, or no offset (ZERO pot disabled for two step non-interactive span and offset calibration).
SPAN RANGE Header
When this header is provided it works in conjunction with the SPAN ADJUST Header by splitting its adjustment range into a Hi and a Lo range. This has the effect of dividing the adjustment range of the SPAN pot into ten equal 10% steps across 100% of the input Signal Span.
Page 16
ZERO ADJUST Header
When this header is provided, it works in conjunction with the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header, and expands the ZERO pots offset capability into five equal negative steps or five equal positive steps.
This enables virtually any degree of input signal offset required to display any desired engineering unit of measure.

In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions.
Large offset scaling and calibration of process signal inputs with modules that utilize ZERO ADJUST Headers and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Headers.
Basic standard range calibration of direct reading modules that utilize either Auto Zero or a ZERO pot, an INPUT RANGE Header and or a SPAN pot.
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, reposition the
jumper clip to select the desired input signal range.
2. Apply a zero input or short the input pins. The display will auto zero, or if the module has a ZERO pot, it should be adjusted until the display reads zero.
3 Apply a known input signal that is at least 20% of the full scale input range and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads the exact input value. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 50% of full scale range.
4 Decimal Points.The selection or positioning of decimal points has
no effect on the calibration of the modules
Wide range scaling, in engineering units not requiring offsets, with modules that utilize auto-zero or a ZERO pot, a SPAN RANGE Header and or a SPAN ADJUST Header.
Texmates unique SPAN ADJUST and SPAN RANGE Headers provide the circuit equivalent of an ultra-precision one megohm 75 or
150 turn potentiometer that can infinitely scale down any Input Signal SPAN to provide any full scale Digital Display Span from
1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) is to be larger than the directly measured value of the input Signal Span, then the next lower range on the INPUT RANGE Header should be selected. The resulting over range Signal Span is then scaled down, by selecting the position of the SPAN RANGE Header and or the SPAN ADJUST Header, which will reduce the input Signal Span to a percentage, that the required Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% select the 20% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 1) or if the module has a SPAN RANGE Header, select (LO Range) and 20% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
3 Apply a zero input or short the input pins. The display will auto zero, or if the module has a ZERO pot, it should be adjusted until the display reads zero.
4 Apply 10 V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads 1800.
Texmates unique ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header enables the use of a simple two step scaling and calibration procedure for those process signals that require large offsets. This eliminates the back and forth interaction, between zero and span settings, that is often required to calibrate less finely engineered products.
The first step is to set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (No Offset) and scale down the Input Signal Span to a percentage that will enable calibration with the SPAN pot to reach the required Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
2 If the module is a Process Input 1-5 V DC type, select the (Hi Range) position on the SPAN RANGE Header and the 100% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 5, max increase).
This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V Signal Span.
3 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply 1 V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads 400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
4 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the negative offset position. If the module has a ZERO ADJUST Header select the position that will provide a negative offset of 500 counts.
Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0% Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi Range) Position on the Span Range Header and the 70% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
3 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply 4 mA and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads 250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
4 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the positive offset position. If the module has a ZERO ADJUST Header select the position that will provide a negative offset of 250 counts. Apply
4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000. Apply
20 mA and check that the display reads 1000.
